Remarks

The LambdaExpression type represents a lambda expression in the form of an expression tree. The Expression<(Of <(TDelegate>)>) type, which derives from LambdaExpression and captures the type of the lambda expression more explicitly, can also be used to represent a lambda expression. At runtime, an expression tree node that represents a lambda expression is always of type Expression<(Of <(TDelegate>)>).

The value of the NodeType property of a LambdaExpression is Lambda.

Use the Lambda factory methods to create a LambdaExpression object.
